Shower tray repair in Hextable, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chips caused during fitting, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Hextable
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Common questions in Hextable
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What affects the price in Hextable
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BR8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
